digiDirect are selling the Galaxy S21 FE 128GB in Graphite only for $649.00. Currently set as pre-order. From a cursory glance, this looks to be an all-time low for the S21 FE 128GB.
Much better phone than A73
S series are the premium device series.
A series are the middle/entry level devices.
So things like the screen, battery, construction materials are better (much better) with a S21 h even if FE is actually then plastic, than an A series.
That's 'as new', i.e. a refurb. The digiDirect listing is brand new, comes with a full Samsung warranty
the link says its 'as new', so its used?
Ah, didnt realise it was a refurbished phone. The description says it is in pristine condition though.
Why is it preorder when same store has it ready for shipping on eBay?
Good question
Why choose this used phone over the $700 brand new pixel 6? Please explain, legit question, I am looking for a new phone
It's not a used phone, it's brand new.
I assume the Pixel 6 you're referring to is the one from Amazon UK - you won't get an Australian warranty and hardware support may be limited. The Galaxy S21 FE is Australian stock and would come with a full warranty from Samsung.
You can compare the two here - https://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s21-fe-vs-goog…
I was curious if this was a grey import. I saw this:
"Buy Samsung Galaxy S21 FE 5G 128GB Graphite with Samsung Australia Warranty from digiDirect"
But also, when you add it to your cart, you pay zero tax.
Is this a local product?
yep digidirect do local stock
the item price is including GST - go to checkout:
Subtotal $649.00
Shipping $0.00
Grand Total (Incl. GST) $649.99
If you view and edit cart it says:
Subtotal $649.00
Tax $0.00
Grand Total (Incl. GST) $649.00
So no tax? Or do they mean no other taxes on top of GST?
Is the Exynos chip only a drawback for gaming?
IMO yes. But I thought Snapdragon are much more power hungry too. So it depends on what your usages is.
128gb version is only 6gb ram compared to 8 on the 256gb model.
I bought the s21Fe 256gb version recently over the S21.
Not huge difference between the 2, FE also 1yr newer so longer support.

Is this snapdragon or exynos? Apparently they have different camera sensors. Do you think this would make much of a difference?
Wow - considering this is listed as $999 RRP, is only available on Samsung partner stores as $799 128gb/$879 256gb, taking another $150 off the price is pretty great
Only 128GB without expandable storage. Even at this bargain price, might still be worth considering the A73…
Any clue when the preorder would be filled? I couldn't see anything on the listing.
This is a great price for the FE, you barely notice the difference to the standard S21, and for this much cheaper it's an easy sell
Any bricks and mortar store likely to price match this?
Managed to price match at Officeworks, bringing it down to $616
Lucky you. They normally only price matched in stock items, not pre-orders.
Showing up as $899 for me :/
Yeah I just came back to buy it after looking this morning to find it expired… feels bad
Lucky I got my price match when I did!
My order was cancelled due to pricing error :(
What do you mean, was the pricing wrong at $649?
